Australian Senator Barnaby Joyce entered parliament in 2005. He hasn't been out of the news since. Here's why. Barnaby Joyce entered the Australian parliament in July 2005, representing the state of Queensland as a National Party Senator. Raised in a sheep-and-cattle farming family, Senator Joyce has worked as a bouncer and an accountant. He also served in the Australian Army Reserve between 1995-1999. Renowned for holding independent views, the Queensland Senator crossed the floor 19 times under the Howard Coalition Government.
Since entering parliament Senator Joyce has attracted much media interest. His colourful utterances generally gain instant media attention. Whether consciously or unconsciously, he has created a media image as a wild card.
On a Carbon Tax:
We have found today that the reason that Greens are in such a bunrush is that they have to go up to Durban and meet up with Leonardo Di Caprio, Angelina Jolie, and Bono from U2, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.”
“You believe they should have green jobs. We’ll just send them back to university, they can all do arts degrees … and they can pontificate about duck ponds, and about windmills, and they can open up wind chime factories at Nimbin …”
"The idea that this scheme can go forward and no one's allowed to question because there's a new form of eco-totalitarianism that demands blind obedience, I think that is wrong... One has to fall into lockstep, goosestep and parade around the office ranting and raving that we are all as one?" - ABC Radio, January 2009
On a meltdown by the Opposition leader Tony Abbott during a TV interview:
"What someone might say to their lover in the heat of passion should be entirely different to what you would say to the lady checking out your groceries at the supermarket.’

When asked by the Australian Women's Weekly in a wide-ranging interview published a few years ago what advice he would give his daughters on sex before marriage, Mr Abbott replied that he would advise them not to give away their virginity .
"I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question ... it is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving, and don't give it to someone outside of marriage," he said.

Joh Bjelke-Petersen whp was Premier of Queensland for over 20 years courtesy of a gerrymander Thatcher would have been proud to create and whose reign was marked by police brutality, developer led corruption and human rights abuses of the Indigenous population that even made Australians looks askance at his administration.
On unionism in his maiden speech on August, 1947: "It is a form of treachery and can only lead to economic upheaval of a severity not often experienced."
On industrial relations: "The 40-hour week has given the opportunity to many to while away their time in hotels."
On John Howard and Ian Sinclair during his Joh for PM campaign in 1987: "You can push a 44-gallon drum of molasses up a hill easier than you could push these two fellas."
On the Joh for PM campaign: "I'm a bushfire raging across the country." And when it failed: "I never really wanted to go anyway."
On former Chinese leader Mao Zedong: "Red is red wherever it is - and I don't trust any of them."
On finances under Gough Whitlam: "Australia is bankrupt. It is even worse than that."
On human rights: "What's the ordinary man in the street got to do with it?"
On condoms: "We don't want any of that sort of thing up here."
On press criticisms: "The greatest thing that could happen to the state and nation is when we get rid of all the media ... then we could live in peace and tranquillity and no one would know anything."

You know, I think I want citations, like Hatter has given. Otherwise I'm having issues with some of these. Sorry.

Something not so dumb at all.
All European tradition, Marxism included, has conspired to defy the natural order of all things. Mother Earth has been abused, the powers have been abused, and this cannot go on forever. No theory can alter that simple fact. Mother Earth will retaliate, the whole environment will retaliate, and the abusers will be eliminated. Things come full circle, back to where they started. That's revolution.
